The Chicago Bears kicker took a private jet to meet his team Sunday morning in Minnesota after the overnight birth of his son.

"It was one of the greatest days of my life and I'm happy for my wife and little boy (but) sorry I couldn't do it for my teammates like I did for my wife," Gould said after missing an overtime field goal, per the Chicago Tribune. "It's hard to swallow. ... If you want to put the blame somewhere, it falls right on me."

Gould has been one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history, but he pushed a 47-yard field goal that would have kept the Bears on pace for a playoff spot.

But let's not twist this as if just one play cost Chicago. Trestman's team had a 10-point lead against a Vikings team ready to fold. Then the Bears allowed Adrian Peterson to run over them and backup quarterback Matt Cassel to dice up their defense.

The Bears' offense couldn't sustain a second-half drive to save their season against one of the worst defenses in the NFL.
